Patrolling the Russali and Nordic Oceans, the Habbakuk-class aircraft carriers are considered the most powerful vessels in the polar regions. Based on the use of pykrete, a mix of wood pulp and ice, the vessels are as sturdy as any comparable steel vessel. The vessels were proposed in 1930, and have been under construction for several years.
